The Chrysolite was built at the Whitehaven shipyard of Shepherd
& Leech in June 1869. She is described in Lloyd's Register as a
brigantine, but, like the Beckermet,
had three-masts and was what would later become known as a barquentine.
She was owned by G.Nelson & Co. of Whitehaven.
The Chrysolite was owned in Penzance from about 1888 to 1907, then Grimsby. Her registry was closed in 1918.
